[intriguing music playing]
Good morning, people of Lusaka!
It's been less than 24 hours,
but our city and our people are powered up.
The streets are pulsing with electricity.
Hot plate stoves are cooking, cell phones are fully charged,
and Wi-Fi runs uninterrupted.
No more power cuts or load shedding. A luta not continua!
-[laughing] -[townspeople coughing]
Uh, power to the people!
And the man responsible for it all,
Mr. Magedzee!
[tsks] Ah, responsible for making us lose a team member!
[coughing]
This is Geoffrey with Lusaka News, signing off.
T.O.M.I., freeze video.
-[monitor beeps] -Geoffrey's scratching hard, eh?
Oh. Ekse, what's going on?
Looks like the people in the marketplace
are coughing and rubbing their eyes, like, a lot.
You think there's some sickness going around?
What are you talking about?
Power is running, people are living their best lives.
As much as I hate to say, Mr. Magedzee is a hero.
[Zee] Zoona, my guy!
Can we trade Mayor Sikazwe for Mr. Magedzee?
Now there's a power upgrade we definitely need.
-[Chomps munches, bleats] -[Temwe] Ah!
[Temwe scoffs] Those city mosquitoes have no mercy.
Hold up, hold up.
He's scratching the same way you and Zee were
after you got that mamina stuff from the barrels on your skin. Remember?
[both wince]
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but, eh...
it looks like something-something is seriously wrong out there.
The mamina detector hasn't recorded any info on the toxic sample yet.
Maybe we should check this problem out.
Uh-huh.
There's no way so many people have the same problem at the same time.
Let's go.
[Zee] Mama K's...
[all] Team 4!
[thrilling music playing]
[music ends]
[elevator whirring softly]
[T-Mlilo] Eh-eh-eh. I'm here to help people,
not catch whatever sickness is going around, bane.
Except this doesn't feel right without Komana.
Has anyone spoken to her since last night?
Mm. You mean since she quit Team 4.
Weh! It wasn't official.
Let's give our friend a little time and space
while we see what's happening around the city.
-Komana's got a lot going on, eh? -[T-Mlilo sighs]
[Komana's father coughing, wheezing]
Ta, please. I told you, you have to rest.
-You've been working way too hard. -Eh-eh-eh.
This car needs to be ready today, eh?
Ta, that's exactly why I'm here.
[Komana's father sighs weakly, grunts]
-Just tell me what you need help with. -Eh-eh.
Who is the parent here?
All you need to do is focus on your schoolwork and new internship, huh?
My bright light of Zambia.
You're just as important.
I can handle more than you think.
I don't know how you do it all. Work, the internship, volunteering at Mama K's.
-Ah. -Oh yeah. Mama K.
[coughing]
Ta, please. You have to go inside and rest.
You cannot work today.
Ah. You're right.
Let me rest these old bones.
[exclaims] This ka cough wasn't so bad yesterday. [sighs]
Don't worry, Ta. I'll clean this up.
Don't try and do everything, eh?
You can't be a superhero. [groans]
[tranquil music playing]
[Chi] I am telling you, comrade,
this rock mineral must be connected to that masked man.
So you're telling me a masked man came to your house to attack you,
and then left you, what? A thank-you gift?
He was probably so dizzy trying to run away from my fire fists,
he did not know he dropped it.
[Chi] No, no, no.
Whatever that smelly mineral is, you are not opening it here.
Take that thing back to HQ.
Let your T.O.M.I. computer figure out what it is.
Very well, Fire Fists.
You and your nose are safe.
-[intriguing music playing] -[Za-Mpezi panting]
Uncle, are you okay?
[man groaning]
I'm fine.
These city mosquitoes just don't want to leave me alone.
[boy panting] We shouldn't have gone swimming in the river!
[grunting]
Mmm. A double bath for the triplets tonight.
No. Triple bath for sure.
[workers groaning]
My eyes are burning!
Hey! Auntie! Uncle! Do you need some help?
No, child, we are fine. We are here to dismantle the windmills.
No need for them now that we have Magz Power.
The work can wait.
-Please take care of yourselves first. -[man pants weakly]
People are scratching, eyes are burning.
Ey, what is going on?
[mysterious music playing]
[townspeople coughing]
[rooster clucks]
-[townspeople coughing] -Hmm. Something's missing here.
[Ba Saasa coughing]
What? My vitumbuwa are closing down!
Ah, no! My heart can't take it! Ha!
Ba Saasa, what happened? Who did it?
There's no way someone ate all the food without me!
Relax yourself, Temwe.
I'm not feeling so good. I... I need to go home and get rest.
Not feeling good?
Ah. I told you not to eat that fish from the auntie down the road.
No, no, I didn't eat the fish.
I was feeling fine until a day ago.
But how could I close without feeding my best customer, huh?
How?
-Wow! -[Ba Saasa laughs, coughs]
[gasps] Ba Saasa! Do you need help getting home?
Mm-mm. Don't worry. I'll be back and better tomorrow, eh?
[laughs, coughing]
-[mysterious music continues] -[engine starts]
Monde's right.
There's definitely something-something fishy-fishy going on here.
[Komana's father coughing]
[Zee] Komana, my guy, people are scratching themselves crazy, ekse.
I didn't see or hear one single mosquito.
And?
Temwe and Zee got all itchy after they were hit with that gun. Ah!
Alley Gator was dumping in the sewers!
♪ When you're alone in my hut... ♪
[Komana's father coughing]
[Zee] And now, all these other people are itchy,
not to mention coughing, eye irritation...
And no food at the market. Mm.
-It's crazy town, bane. -[body thuds]
-But how does it all connect? -[Komana's father coughing]
Everyone's saying it all started happening yesterday.
Coincidentally, after Magz Power was turned on.
It's actually quite random, mathematically speaking.
What kind of maths are you doing if you can't add all these things together
and see they equal a problem bigger than even me?
Iwe, Temwe. So you can make jokes about your size, but if we do it...?
[Komana's father coughing]
I'm sorry, but I have to go help my dad. Talk to you later.
-[mysterious music playing] -[Komana's father coughing]
[door closes]
Be careful with that mineral, comrade.
This is the zebra that will lead us to the watering hole.
It is the only clue we have to help us find that masked man.
Also, keep it away from that pretty goat of yours
before it tries to eat it.
[chuckles] Why you insist on a goat for a pet?
[Mama K laughs]
[engine starts]
[ominous music playing]
[sighs]
[Monde] Everyone's saying it all started happening yesterday.
Coincidentally, after Magz Power was turned on.
There's no such thing as coincidence.
So how do these random things add up?
[investigative music playing]
[gasps]
Why does this Magz Power mineral seem so familiar?
What is it?
How did you choose solar as your power source?
Well, I looked into a number of energy resources,
geothermal, wind,
even an extremely rare mineral called Zambinite.
Ah, yes. I've heard of that mineral.
[gasps]
[investigative music continues]
[chuckles] Did Mr. Magedzee actually find Zambinite?
[gasps] This is so amazing!
Oh no. I have to tell Team 4.
-[Komana sighs] -[footsteps pacing]
So, I think you guys were right.
Huh?
I'm pretty sure the Magz Power source Mr. Magedzee is using
is actually Zambinite.
Ah, ah, ah. Zambinite?
Here's the problem. The Zambinite is highly unstable
and generates toxic waste when converted to energy.
Didn't we learn this in chemistry class?
Ah! And that's why everyone is getting sick.
What did I say?
Cough plus itch plus no market food equals what?
Say it with me, a bad, bad problem!
We need to tell Mr. Magedzee the Zambinite is toxic,
but he'll be heartbroken, crushed.
It will be the end of Magz Power. We'll have to go back to load shedding.
Mr. Magedzee will lose MPC. I'll lose my scholarship.
MPC gone, my future at MPC gone.
But if I don't tell him, people will keep getting sick.
Everyone's future will be ruined.
[gasps] There will be no future.
I have to tell Mr. Magedzee. Thank you for talking me through this!
Mm-hmm. Good chat.
-[Komana] But I don't know if I can. -[Monde] "I"?
Did you think you were going alone?
Iwe, Komana. We are a team, on and off the field.
Besides, Zee, "Team 1" is the worst name.
It doesn't even make sense.
-[elevator bell dings] -[inspirational music playing]
[Chompsie bleats]
Iwe, Chompsie. Those eyes are for who?
You know I could not take you to Chi's house,
but I brought you some guazas!
[Chompsie bleating happily]
[munching]
Ah. Looks like the girls have been busy.
Busy making a mess.
Hmm.
[intriguing music playing]
Ah.
Hmm.
[Mayor Sikazwe humming]
Who's the best mayor ever, hm?
-I am, I am! [laughs] -Sir. I...
Who gave the people of Lusaka stable power?
-Sir... -Hmm? Hmm?
-I did, I did! [laughs] -Mayor?
The people's boos will now become woos!
Mayor!
Eh-eh-eh. Why are you trying to shove me with papers
like I'm a recycling bin, hm?
This is the last of the MPC contracts to sign, Mayor.
I already gave Magedzee the rights.
What more does he want? Hmm?
My necklace and my job? Never!
What is this for?
The deal to allow Mr. Magedzee to pay for his exclusive rights
to provide Lusaka with electricity.
Oh! [humming]
Eh-eh. Why are you still standing here, hm?
Get that to Mr. Magedzee ASAP.
I need my money...
I mean, the city needs the money, ASAP.
Don't worry, sir. I'll deliver them personally.
[laughs]
[sighs heavily] Mr. Magedzee, do you want the good news or the bad news first?
Argh!
So, if all the other power sources in the city have been destroyed,
and Mr. Magedzee has to turn off Magz Power, then what?
Ooh! Does that mean we'll get night vision goggles
to save people in the dark? Yes!
[Monde] Ah, shame.
Mr. Magedzee's timing for finding a solution to the power problem
was on point.
Lusaka really needed his help.
He just swooped in and saved the day!
All the days.
Yeah, his timing was perfect.
Almost too perfect, if you catch what I mean.
No, I don't!
Hmm. Mr. Magedzee has become a big hero.
Now he's basically the most powerful man in the city.
[detector beeping]
[monitors beeping]
-[intriguing music playing] -[T.O.M.I.] Incoming results, Mama K.
The mamina detector has identified the substance
as a derivative from the mineral Zambinite.
Eh?
Zambinite?
I've never heard of that before.
Time to find out what you are.
[intriguing music continues]
[detector beeping and whirring]
Think about it, vantu vanga.
We found it weird that so many people could be sick at the exact same time,
but isn't it weirder that all our power sources
were actually destroyed one after the other?
Right! By a bunch of not-so-great vima villains!
Uh-huh! All a villain really wants is to gain power,
and what could be the ultimate way to do that?
To literally control power!
Imwe! Do you think all those bad guys were actually working for him?
Uh-huh.
[gasps] Imwe!
Then this is Mr. Magedzee's big secret.
-He is the baddest man! -[dramatic music playing]
[monitors beeping]
[mysterious music playing]
T.O.M.I., activate the crime board.
[computer beeping]
So this masked man's henchmen have mainly attacked power sources.
Hmm. Clever-clever.
He never gets his hands dirty.
Switch screens, T.O.M.I.
Show me all the prominent people there during those attacks.
[T.O.M.I.] Yes, Mama K.
It's not Mr. Nkwashi. We have proven that.
[monitor beeping]
[laughs] The mayor? Corrupt, yes.
But with that big ego, there's no space for thinking other things.
-[monitor beeps] -[Mama K] Likando.
Smart woman, good heart. Not her.
Mr. Sibanda. Hey, we know what happened to him.
Geoffrey. Ha! Too busy-busy shining on camera. Heh.
[monitor beeping]
And Mr. Magedzee is the proud son of Lusaka,
always coming to the aid of the people at every disaster.
[sighs] So, what am I missing?
And we saw Alley Gator dumping toxic waste.
Can you see the dots connecting, my guy?
Dots connecting? No, I don't.
The barrels!
When I saw Storm Drain in Magedzee's lab,
those barrels were there.
Look, the toxic waste Alley Gator was dumping
must have been the same waste coming from the lab.
How did I miss this before, bane?
And we've already seen the Crusty Croc and the Weather Weirdo working together.
-[T.O.M.I.] Incoming results, Mama K. -[monitor beeping]
-Hm. -[Komana] Look!
What more do you need to show Mr. Magedzee is innocent?
Maybe all that stuff is just fake news.
Fake news? Seriously?!
Fine. I'll call the university and prove to you he's not a liar.
Oh! Maybe Mr. Magedzee has an evil twin.
Yes! When I was spying on him, he didn't sound like himself!
Awe. You guys, that only happens in TV shows.
[T.O.M.I.] Confirmed. The mineral is identified as Zambinite.
Wait! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
They are both Zambinite?
I'm sorry? What do you mean he was never on your honor list?
[woman] I've checked all our records,
and Lee Magedzee never even attended our school.
Thank you so much. Goodbye.
[dramatic music playing]
He... he lied.
His school, his past.
Hmm.
[Komana] If he was lying about that,
then maybe... he could be lying about everything else.
[Mama K] Zambinite.
[Komana] Mr. Magedzee is behind everything.
[Mama K gasps]
Mr. Magedzee is behind everything.
[dramatic music playing]
[static on screen]
[Mama K wails] Ah, ah, ah, ah.
No. What?
How could he? Why would he?
I can't believe I trusted him, admired him, believed him!
Liar!
[panting] Komana's looking like I do when I get hungry!
[Monde] Komana!
-[Zee panting] Whoa! -[Temwe wails, grunts]
Sisi, let's channelize some calm
and be sure about what we're going to do.
[Komana growls angrily]
Hey! Komana's going to burn down the byu-byu with her eyes
before we even get inside!
If Mr. Magedzee really is the masked man who kidnapped us in the mines,
we have to go in there prepared.
